Scientists have created a super-map of the brain containing 30 million cells to trace the prenatal origins of diseases.

One in three Americans is likely to be affected by a brain disorder in their lifetime. Many of these conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease or severe developmental disorders, have no reliable ...

A new single-cell atlas shows how epigenetic changes reshape brain cells during aging, revealing genomic instability, regional differences, and potential biomarkers of brain aging. More than 57 ...

Neurodegenerative diseases affect more than 57 million people globally. The incidence of these diseases, from Alzheimer's to Parkinson's to ALS and beyond, is expected to double every 20 years. Though ...

An estimated 86 billion neurons in the average human brain govern our body’s functions and conjure — somehow — the human mind. C. elegans has 302 neurons in one sex and a few more in the other.

A team led by Southwest Research Institute (SwRI) developed a computational method to improve techniques to track brain cell development over time. By studying neurons and their dynamics in brain ...

For much of the 20 th century it was thought that the adult brain was incapable of regeneration. This view has since shifted dramatically and neurogenesis – the birth of new neurons – is now a widely ...
